Yellow Sawhead
“ The small-size hijacked flying synapsid uses a rostrum with saw teeth to cut wood, armor, and flesh. The rolling maneuver is a sign of death for their shuriken-spin moves. ”

The Yellow Sawhead (Xipharhinopteryx francisoii), or known as Yellow-furred Sawhead, Blond-furred Sawhead, Sulfur-furred Sawhead, or Citrine Sawhead, is the one of the fictional species of synapsid introduced in Worldcraft: The Center.
The combination of the words saw (act like a Carpenter saw) and head, or forehead, is called a sawhead. Owing to the long rostrum's toothy edges and beak-like structures.
Singular: Sawhead
Plural: Sawheads
The Yellow Sawhead has a long skull with a saw-like rostrum on the nose and teeth-like spines on the bottom, small and pointed ears, teeth hidden in their lips, a long neck, four fingers on their arms, wings similar to pterosaurs, digitigrade legs with white small spurs at the knee and five toes, and smooth and blunt-resistant skin. The Yellow Sawhead has yellow fur, olive skin with brown on top of sawnose, a white belly, and a long tail with diamond-shaped and a single stinger at the tip of a tail. Their eye color is brown.
The Sawhead is a skilled aerial acrobat who can glide and twist with ease. Its forked tail allows it to steer and maneuver precisely, even in severe gusts. It can fly for hours on thermals with few wingbeats. The Sawhead has extraordinary eyesight, detecting small prey from more than 100 meters away, and its eyes have evolved to perceive motion swiftly and track prey even while flying fast. The Sawhead either stabbed or sawed with the saw rostrum in a manner similar to that of a carpenter.
Yellow sawhead is in the middle of the food chain. They are omnivorous and consist of fruits, fungi, mistletoes, turnips, blueberries, mulberries, bamboo shoots, and even small animals like worms, fish, and others. They spotted a tree with dozens of sawheads perched on its branches in the herds called "Murderer of Sawheads."
Unlike many of them, the Sawheads have normal thermal sight, or thermography, used for seeing enemies behind the wall to detect heat. All three species of sawheads have deadly rostrums with sets of teeth that can cut or saw off flesh, paper, clothes, armor, glass, and even plants. The main predators of this animal were varieties of fauna in Horatio, like synapsids, wolves, falcons, and other dragons.
All Sawhead species are solitary or observed in breeding pairs; they are fiercely territorial but normally avoid humans. However, they can be dangerous to people, although assaults are uncommon. Their massive size, saw on the nose, and aggressive disposition when defending their territory allow them to inflict considerable injuries. Attacks on humans are rare and usually occur in certain situations, such as during nest protection or when the saw-nose winged synapsid is provoked, although they continue to pose a hazard as flying pests.
Originated from the Sawintir and the Sawhead lives as the same as Earth's biomes. It was found in temperate grassland, tropical grassland, Mediterranean forest, subtropical forest, desert, xeric shrubland, badland, swampland, temperate deciduous forest, bamboo forest, cloud forest, oceanic climate, hills, and even continental climate. Yellow Sawhead was an introduced species in the central portions of the Horatio continent on Reinachos, one of exoplanets in Cygnus.

The synapsids emerge from evolution and unique wildlife conservation except for the dinosaur species: Deinonychus. The voliantens are flying bat-like synapsids. Also looked up there are just studied by scientists in conversation and protected by Royal family members.
